Ingredients
  

  • 500 gr pumpkin peeled and diced
  • 500 gr feta cheese
  • 4 eggs
  • 400 gr milk of your choice
  • 250 gr corn flour
  • 1 tsp dried mint
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • 4-5 tbsp olive oil plus more
  • Sesame seeds to garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven at 200C fan.
  2. Wash, peel and dice the pumpkin. We need 500gr diced pumpkin, so save the rest for other recipes. Place the pumpkin dices in a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Drizzle with some olive oil and massage the pumpkin, season with a bit of sea salt and bake for 30’ approximately or until soft enough to mash with a fork.
  3. Whisk the eggs in a big bowl, add the feta cheese crumbled, the milk, mint, thyme, 4-5 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper.
  4. Mash the roasted pumpkin with a fork and add it to the bowl. Finally add the corn flour. Mix well to combine.
  5. Grease a round pan 30cm with olive oil and pour the pie mix evenly using the back of a spoon. Drizzle with some more olive oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  6. Bake for about 30-35’ or until the surface goldens.
